jolihokistix, welcome to our virtual crewroom. It is not the usual venue available to an international gathering. Forget shiny new Olympic Stadiums or International Exhibitions in striking architecturally state of the art galleries. The corrugated iron construction is beginning to look more like filigree lace, the interior is best described as shabby chic, but the conversation is both friendly and varied. So take a seat and join in.

Your thumbnail picture attached fine, and it looks as though the Zeros (or Oscars?) are having a field day. The corresponding text would be of great interest, so a translation would be greatly appreciated.

Many years ago an attempt was made to ask German pilot veterans to post on this thread, but alas it came to naught. The same invitation goes out to all such veterans, whether they were friend or foe alike in those terrible years. Failing that, artefacts such as yours that portrayed their nation's aspirations and attitudes remind us that there are two sides at least to every conflict. We may not accept them, but we should at least consider them.
